    Lea Tahuhu with 2-23 from eight overs has been the pick of the New Zealand bowlers so far.

  2. Eng 141-5published at 33 overs

    Leigh Kasperek completes her over. Just one from it. There are still 17 overs left in this innings - England will need to bat sensibly to give their bowlers a decent total to defend.

  3. Not outpublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 16 September 2021

    Eng 141-5

    Not out. Knight did lift her foot off the turf but grounded it in time. As we were.

  4. Umpire reviewpublished at 15:15 British Summer Time 16 September 2021

    Has Knight been stumped? It's smart work from 'keeper Martin. New Zealand don't look overly convinced.

  5. Eng 140-5published at 32 overs

    New batter Katherine Brunt has a tricky delivery outside the off stump to face first up.

    A maiden over for Jess Kerr.

    A great deal will now depend on how long England captain Heather Knight can go on for.

    That's an excellent take from the wicketkeeper Katey Martin. It was going down the leg side and her view would have been largely obstructed by Sophia Dunkley's body. The standard of keeping in the women's game at the moment is a joy to watch.

    England have slipped from 109-1 to 140-5. New Zealand are delighted, and it's clear why - we spoke so much about Sophia Dunkley's form.

    Sophia Dunkley is caught down the leg side!

    We've been singing her praises but the England batter will be disappointed with the dismissal. Dunkley looks to clip it into the leg side and helps it into the gloves of Katey Martin who is standing up to the stumps.

  9. Eng 140-4published at 31 overs

    Sophia Dunkley is a joy to watch! The 23-year-old crisply drives Leigh Kasperek through the off side for four.

    This is Heather Knight's 22nd ODI fifty, but she only has one hundred. Is today the day she makes it two?

    The England captain has her half-century! It took a while to get her eye in but Heather Knight has plugged away to reach her 22nd fifty in 108 ODIs.

    England were cruising at 109-2 and they've just lost a couple of wickets in a cluster. But who better to come to the crease than the in-form Sophia Dunkley?

    It's brilliant to see Lea Tahuhu back. She had three surgeries on a mole on her left foot that was in a pre-cancerous state, but used this series as motivation to recover from the gruelling operations. Before that, she had strained her hamstring during England's tour of New Zealand. She's now here in England and she and her wife Amy Satterthwaite have their young daughter, Grace, on tour with them.

  14. Eng 132-4published at 30 overs

    The terrifically talented Sophia Dunkley is the new batter in.

    A fired up Tahuhu steams in and Dunkley confidently defends the two remaining deliveries.

    Amy Jones was trying to play more expansively and misjudged it. Lea Tahuhu is really enjoying her comeback.

    Jones b Tahuhu 2 (Eng 132-4)

    Tahuhu has another! Amy Jones, like Nat Sciver before her, is bowled.

    It's banged in from Tahuhu, the batter makes some space and swings her arms and the ball clatters into the stumps.

    Knight, unbeaten on 45, has overtaken Tammy Beaumont as top-scorer in this England innings.

    This is how Beaumont departed a short while ago...

  18. Eng 129-3published at 29 overs

    Shot! Heather Knight looks settled out there. The England skipper waits back in her crease and swats the spin of Amy Satterthwaite - who is just introduced to the attack - through the covers for four glorious runs.

  19. Eng 122-3published at 28 overs

    Amy Jones guides her first delivery down to third man to get off the mark with a single. Heather Knight then plays a carbon copy of the same shot, this time it's fielded well in the deep from Leigh Kasperek to stop the boundary.

    A very smart delivery from Tahuhu invites Jones into playing outside the off stump, the batter pulling her bat back just in the nick of time.

    Just four from the over.
